To add my voice to the ever-growing chorus: I'm in a similar situation, except in this case despite my still having session cookies stored on several devices, all of which were logged-out simultaneously, it's requiring a new phone number. When I eventually gave one grudgingly (one used on most of the other accounts listed along side this account in Google's account switcher), it still tells me I'm locked out and to "try again later".
It's been about a month.
I have a very short list of companies, the collapse of which I'd celebrate with a party, and Google is vying very successfully for that top spot against some pretty reprehensible competitors.
- nucleardog 6y agoYeah, I've got an account I haven't had access to in about ten years that I still can't get in to. I try and reset it from time to time and just always get the "try again later". I'm pretty sure I even have the correct password, but it thinks my login is suspicious since it's from a new/unfamiliar device so requires me to further authenticate myself except I no longer have access to the phone number associated with it. I'm fairly sure I have the answers to the security questions as well as have succeeded at the other recovery options, but best I've been able to get is "try again later". The email is being forwarded to another address of mine, so I can still receive email I just... can never actually get into the account ever again. Thankfully I don't/didn't ever use it for anything all that important.
